Pause Awhile

Sid Hammond and Siyana Ruth’s story is more than just one of success, it’s a story of a lifelong bond that began in childhood and never wavered. From the moment Sid held Siyana’s tiny hand as a newborn, they were connected in a way that time, distance, and ambition could never break. They grew up side by side, their friendship turning into a partnership built on trust, understanding, and an unshakable belief in each other. Now, standing at the height of their careers as two of the world’s most influential CEOs, they share a moment that is both professional and deeply personal. As Siyana steps onto the stage of a prestigious business conference, Sid watches her intently, his gaze unwavering. The bright lights shine down on her, highlighting the grace and confidence that have always defined her. She walks to the podium, taking in the faces of the audience, but when she finally speaks, her eyes instinctively find Sid’s. She begins by thanking those who have been part of her journey, her voice steady yet laced with emotion. But as she turns to Sid, her words take on a deeper meaning. Holding his gaze, she pauses for a brief moment, as if silently acknowledging everything they have built together. Then, with a soft yet resolute voice, she says, “Thank you for everything, my husband.” A wave of applause fills the room, but for them, it fades into the background. In that moment, it isn’t the accolades or the success that matter most it’s the unbreakable bond they have shared from the very beginning. A journey of trust, resilience, and unwavering devotion that has led them here, standing together at the pinnacle of their lives.

[Der heißeste Großstadtroman des Jahres 2022] Um jemanden zu retten, nahm ein armer Junge unerwartet Drachenblut als Körperstärkungsmittel zu sich und schlief sogar mit einer schönen Geschäftsführerin. Durch eine Laune des Schicksals wurde er zum Leibwächter dieser Geschäftsführerin, und so begann eine Reise mit einer unglaublichen Wendung. Weibliche Geschäftsführerin: "Kommen Sie heute Abend in mein Zimmer, um über die Arbeit zu sprechen." Long Fei: "Willst du mich umbringen? Einen Monat lang haben wir jeden Tag über die Arbeit gesprochen, kannst du mir nicht mal eine Pause gönnen?"

Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

Jiang Chen never expected to find himself in a world of cultivation, let alone as a core disciple of a famous sect. Destined to play the villain’s role, his future was full of trouble. He had plotted against the protagonist, crippling his dantian and turning him into a disgraced outcast, barely holding onto his place in the sect. If not for a surprising twist, Jiang Chen’s story might have ended as a small chapter in the protagonist’s grand journey. Understanding how risky his position was, Jiang Chen gave a sly grin. Alone, he thought to himself: 'Is the protagonist strong? No doubt about it. But am I afraid? Definitely not. Why? Because I have the Immortal Great Villain System!' Then he paused, his expression changing slightly. 'Wait… there’s more than one protagonist?' Instead of feeling worried, his grin grew wider. 'Well, isn’t that perfect?' With a sharp glint in his eyes, Jiang Chen made a bold declaration to himself: 'As the ultimate Great Villain, I’ll defy Heaven’s will and stand at the top!'

I turned my assassin into my maid with the power of money! Money is all-powerful! It was a world full of swords and magic; Lawrend was the son of the wealthiest merchant in town. Since the age of 7, he had been having dreams. A dream about a past life in a modern civilization where monsters are nonexistent, and humans dominate the world. Lawrend saw Iron birds, Magical bricks that display moving paintings, Thunder wielding, and many more. There was a scene in one of the dreams that made Lawrend’s heart beat fast. A row of a dozen maids bowing in front of him. Each dressed in a french maid outfit. Something awakened inside Lawrend when he had that dream. A fervent desire to have his very own Maid Harem!

Ten years ago, the world was captivated by a groundbreaking VR MMORPG, a fully immersive experience that allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary heroes in a realm of magic and wonder. For a decade, they built their lives, forged their identities, and left their marks on what they thought was just a game. But when the servers shut down, the truth shattered everything. The game world wasn’t just a virtual reality, it was a fabricated timeline, a fragile imitation of the true Magic world . And now, the countdown has begun. The players, ripped from their lives on Earth and the simulation, find themselves in the Magic World, ten years younger but burdened with all the memories of the game and their old lives. Their in-game personas, once vibrant and driven by purpose, are now hollow shells, unable to act on their own. Even worse, Earth’s timeline fragile and unprotected has been paused, and its collapse is inevitable. To prevent disaster, the 10 Originals, the most renowned players of the game, must rise once more. But this time, there are no systems to guide them, no respawns, and no safety nets. The high realm is real, its dangers far deadlier than any raid boss. And as the countdown ticks away, inconsistencies between the worlds begin to unravel reality itself. Thrown into a world they don’t fully understand, hunted by their own past mistakes, and racing against time to stop the collapse of Earth’s timeline, the Originals must uncover the secrets of the game’s creation and find a way to stabilize the Magic World. The clock is ticking, and the fate of three worlds rests on their shoulders. Will the Originals be able to fix the chaos they caused, or will everything they fought for crumble into nothingness?

His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was!

Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

Knowledge, ambition, and human connection have crumbled. SOB442 a 12 year old.Is different.

Along the way, he’ll face resistance from a society that sees no value in the past, a government that thrives on ignorance, and his own doubts about whether one kid can reignite the spark of human curiosity. In a world where everyone is online, can one boy reconnect humanity to the stories that made it human?

Four abyss opened up within the depth of earth and a powerful explosion followed suit. A figure was drenched in his own blood, eyes as red as blood. Two broken knives stuck out of his body as he struggled to breath. "In this life and the next, I'll never let them go!" His eyes was seethed with hatred, his teeth gnashing in anger. "I'll kill them all... I'll ruin them one after another!" He paused, a terrifying chill filling the air as the four abysses powered up. "I'll take my revenge! I'll come back and finish this story!" The abyss suddenly roared and his body parts was shriveled apart, each piece swallowed and distributed evenly Into the open maws of the chilling abysses. A deafening silence was the only thing that remained of a powerful civilization.

The legend of the warrior and the emperor Zhao --- In the hallowed halls of the Academy of Wisdom, where the ancient teachings of Confucius and Laozi are whispered on the winds and the scent of ink lingers in the air, Master Li stood before the eager students. His voice was soft yet commanding, as he began to weave a tale-a legend passed down through the generations of the Imperial family. "Long, long ago," Master Li began, his eyes distant as if recalling a time forgotten by all but the stars themselves, "there was an Emperor whose wisdom was as vast as the skies, and whose reign brought prosperity to the Empire. His name was Zhao, and he was the first of his line to rule the land with the strength of both the heavens and the earth." The students listened intently, their minds open to the ancient story unfolding before them. "Emperor Zhao was not just a ruler, but a man of great virtue and insight," Master Li continued. "He understood that a wise ruler must not only lead with strength but also seek the counsel of those whose hearts were pure. It was said that no problem, no matter how great, could be solved by force alone. And so, Emperor Zhao sought not only the most skilled generals but also the most brilliant minds to guide him." The room grew quiet as Master Li paused, his gaze sweeping over the students. A murmur ran through the students, for they had never heard of this warrior. "Emperor Zhao, recognizing the warrior's great potential, took him into his court not just as a soldier but as a counselor, a trusted friend. Remember, my students, that in every great ruler, there is always a companion who remains in the shadows, their strength and wisdom shaping the future. Like Vikram, who stood beside Emperor Zhao, many warriors and scholars are the silent forces that keep the wheel of history turning." _________ 22/01/2025 A very beautiful love story between two beautiful souls.

In her past life, she was a majestic unicorn, revered as a sacred guardian of the forest. Her silver mane gleamed under moonlight, her horn a beacon of purity and power. But her tranquil life ended brutally at the hands of a human hunter, her shimmering blood staining the earth she once protected. Now, she awakens to an unwelcome reality—a human body. Reborn by the will of a capricious goddess, the former unicorn is told she must walk among the very species she despises to "learn the intricacies of humanity." With no horn to defend herself, her ethereal beauty becomes a double-edged sword, drawing the attention of suitors from all walks of life: a cunning nobleman seeking a trophy wife, a dashing rogue who claims to see through her icy demeanor, a stoic knight who pledges undying loyalty, and even a mysterious mage who suspects her otherworldly origins. But their adoration is a curse, not a blessing. Resentful of her fragile human form and her inability to protect herself as she once did, she yearns only for the return of her horn—a symbol of her pride and power. She dreams of using it to drive away the persistent men vying for her affection and reclaiming the strength she lost. As she navigates a world of political intrigue, forbidden magic, and deep-seated prejudices, she is forced to confront the complexities of human emotions and morality. Can she find a way to reconcile her past and present selves? Or will her quest to reclaim her former glory come at the cost of understanding what it truly means to be human? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author's Note: Publishing Schedule Update Dear Readers, Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for my stories!

[Warning: This book contains Strong Language and Mature Content] On her eighteenth birthday, Ravenna felt the weight of exile as she was outlawed from her home because she could not shift to a werewolf, a mark of shame in their world that revered power. Away from all the ridicules and hate, she had at least a more peaceful life, until a beautiful storm knocked at her door. Deceived by its enchanting waves, Ravenna welcomed it with open arms until she was swept away into the deepest depth of the ocean of love. Being a daughter of an alpha, that was not supposed to happen even if she was not living in the pack anymore. Falling in love with the king of darkness. Alaric! He is the epitome of danger. But then, she turned his life upside down. From a heartless man to an obsessive lover. All he wished was to keep her with him. Even if it meant chaining her to himself. Whether what he felt was infatuation, desire or... he just would never ever let her go. Let no man or beast separate him from what he had claimed and marked; else they would face his unceasing wrath. **************** "Am of no use to you, why do you still insist on keeping me?" She just wanted to hear him say it. That he loved her as much as she did. She was becoming more desperate as days went by, maybe more than desperate to the extent of destroying herself in this love. Alaric paused and kept his laptop aside. He held her hand and brought her in front of him before pulling her to his lap. Silently, he sniffed her neck and licked it, then replied, "Because I want to." He continued his actions, and his hands were already moving under her dress caressing her thighs. Ravenna took a deep breath trying to stop herself from diving into pleasure as always. "Will you ever say it?" Her voice came out as a low yearning plead and with his advanced hearing ability, Alaric did not miss a word. "Say what?" His hand reached her pant ready to tear it apart. "That you love me." Her words made him pause abruptly before looking at her. As usual, his eyes were blank with no hint of emotions making Ravenna feel like she was just fooling herself. For how long could she endure this? "Do I?" He asked not tearing his gaze away from her eyes that were already tearing up.

Eogan Dubhan, the illegitimate heir of the legendary hero Cian Chulainn legacy, bears a dark secret: he remembers a past life as Fergus Mor, the most feared fey lord in history. Centuries ago, Fergus led a monstrous horde in a bid to conquer the world, only to be defeated by Cian, who sealed the practice of raising monsters as taboo for all time. Now, in a world that condemns the very act his bloodline once embraced, Eogan secretly raises monsters of his own, while a new threat emerges—demonic creatures born of Fergus's past sins. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Eogan faces an impossible choice: will he inherit the dark ambitions of his former self, or rise as a hero to stop the world’s destruction? Power, redemption, and the line between hero and villain blur as Eogan’s destiny unfolds. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Author's Note: Publishing Schedule Update Dear Readers, Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for my stories!

After an accident, he had thought he died but to his surprise, he wakes up in a strange ruined world. [Ding! Ultra survival system activated!] [You have been reincarnated into a new world. Your mission is to survive, grow stronger, and complete tasks to earn rewards. Use these rewards to travel between worlds, where greater challenges and opportunities await.] [And upon reaching the apex, you’ll be granted a divine throne.] Wait, what? I could jump between worlds? This wasn’t your usual reincarnation. ........................ (A/N: This book is paused(STUB) I'll be using this idea in different book.)

Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

The end came silently, not with an explosion, but with the imminent exhaustion of the energy that gave life to the universe. The calculations were irrefutable: entropy was advancing without pause, consuming the stars until they were left in a state of coldness and death. Humanity, which had conquered the galaxy and mastered the laws of physics, was facing its final challenge: extinction. For centuries, the most brilliant scientists and thinkers searched for a solution, but collapse was inevitable. They could not fight against the fate of the cosmos, but they could ensure that their existence was not forgotten. Thus one last project. A perfect structure, built with materials unknown even to its own creators, capable of withstanding the passage of eons. Inside, it housed the entirety of human knowledge: history, science, philosophy, technology, art and culture. More than just a simple archive, it contained an artificial intelligence with evolutionary capabilities, designed to preserve, learn and adapt to any environment in which it might find itself. With one last effort, the Archive was launched into the abyss of space, traversing unknown dimensions and realities, with one goal: to find a new home, a place where their knowledge could be passed on, where humanity could, in some way, be reborn. Centuries, millennia, perhaps eons later, the Archive descended upon a different world. A world where magic was the essence that ruled life, where ancient civilizations fought for dominance over forgotten realms and impossible creatures sailed the skies and seas. It was in this world that a young man, unknown to his own people, would find the greatest legacy of an extinct civilization. And with it, change the fate of everything he knew. The age of magic was about to meet the lost knowledge of another world.

Imagine a place where anything and everything is possible. Where all dreams, legends, stories, and fictional characters were born.

Story begins: "Hello I am sure you are more than a little confused, wondering where you're at and who I am, all that and more will be answered in due time. Before the voice could continue the boy yelled out into the void, "Am I dead!?" Giving a pause before providing a response the voice stated "I will answer that question in a moment, now I would like to ask you to hold all questions till I have explained more".

"Please." She moaned softly. "Please what?" His teasing voice asked. "Please-she paused unsure if this was right. "I'm waiting angel." He whispered huskily. A surge of confidence moved her lips to speak again. "Touch me." And that was all it took for him to shove his hands into her underwear touching her at the place she ached the most."Mr.Al." She whispered in pleasure. Alexander Blackwood had a secret. He was in love with his best friend,Rose. But sadly, it was an unrequited love. She would never see him the way he saw her.

In a world where the powerful ruled with an iron fist, one boy was dealt the worst cards—first by fate, then by the world, and finally by an Outer God. With each passing moment, he spiraled deeper into a reality determined to break him. One day, as the pool of blood bubbled and rumbled in an ancient temple of malignance, a young man emerged from the depths. Beasts roared in a twisted symphony, and his body radiated a bloody strength that no one could contain. He paused, a thought crossing his mind as he got out from the blood pool: "I'm really not a Demon." One day, as the massive corpse of a dragon lay idle, it shriveled, losing all its grandeur and dignity. Its desecrated body pulsed with dark energy, and from its stomach erupted a sharp, tyrannical sword aura, cutting through the air with lethal precision. A figure emerged, his black robe now stained blood red, his blood-red vertical eyes gleaming with a demonic fire. As he stood, surrounded by the lingering aura of death, he thought, "I’m really not a Demon." One day, when the Blood Moon shone in all its glory, and the Demon Sect was at its peak, the Gates of the Demon Sect were shattered, and their Sect Halls lay in ruin. In the heart of their Demonic Lands, signs of a cataclysmic battle were evident. Corpses, scattered like broken dolls, piled upon each other to form a massive mound. Atop this heap of death sat a figure, calm and unperturbed, bathed in moonlight. His four eyes scanned the surroundings, and after a moment of contemplation, he thought rationally, "I only killed Demons, so that doesn’t really make me a Demon."

in the instant of it all there is something which remains is it the memories within? or the yearnings without? Tell me, oh tell me when sacred flaming eyes meet in the twilight zone, what with those searching looks, unsettled until the match is met? is it the undecided pat doing the rest In pure insanity? or the varying whispers that ceases in mid silence? Tell me, oh tell me now what to expect certainly when eyes are evaded and a smiling lip curves solely, what should I really expect? within the minute's pause there dwells possibilities for something to wilter without cause or maybe to spring with abilities!

Scene 1 "Your marriage is fixed," Father Shen stated calmly. "You'll register the marriage directly." "I don't agree!" Shen Ning stood up, her face full of defiance. Father Shen pursed his lips, his tone unwavering. "Objection denied." ________________________________ Scene 2 "Every relationship has its issues. You don't have to face it alone. What happened?" Still, Qin Yuheng remained silent, his eyes distant, unwilling to open up. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Qin Yuheng spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. "I forced her to marry me… But... she likes someone else." ________________________________ Scene 3 "Will you always be there on my every birthday?" "Mm-hmm," he replied, his answer simple but filled with the promise of a lifetime. He moved to lead her toward the cake. "Let's—" But Shen Ning suddenly stopped him. "I love you." He paused, sure that he had misheard. "What did you say?" Shen Ning's voice was steady, but her heart was pounding as if it were trying to escape her chest. "I love you." _________________________________ Scene 4 "You think I slept with someone else?" she whispered, her voice hollow, "How can you?" He sneered in disgust. Then, suddenly, her expression shifted. A cold, mocking smile appeared on her face. "Oh, you're right," she said, her voice sharp as a blade. "I did. Not once, but many times." His eyes flared with rage, but she pressed on, gustily. "I never stopped loving him. I was forced to be with you. I cheated on you. So what now? Want a divorce?" _________________________________ ✿✿✿✷✯◕◕✿◕◕◕ I’ve modified the synopsis to add more depth and focus on key scenes.
